Thinking of running this campaign. Advice?
So I'm a newer DM. I have run the lost mines campaign before I had even played D&D before. Since then, I have played a couple of 1 shots, CoS to completion, and ToD which ended at level 3 when a couple players moved away. I was looking to start a new campaign and IWD looked interesting. Is this a good campaign for a newer DM to run? Do you have any advice for story tweaks to have it run smoothly?
Typically, the guys I play with are more interested in combat, but I want to try to get them a little more into the role play aspect of the game. Im hoping this is a combat centered campaign with good draws to the role play elements. It seems like having such small communities like 10 towns, there will be more consequences for murder hoboing, which I'm hoping won't occur, but you never know.
FYI, I have not yet bought the book but I plan to soon.
